Voter in the LEApER, Ss | am not
allowed To- reply t. anything pub
iishcd in that paper that does not
correspond with it's editors views.
a. Voter says. know Of no live
political issue, and don't see any
cause for one in our county to-day.
One thing | do know, and that Is,
| don't want any political issue
run hv lew extreme politicians.
| think ! know the feelings ot the
! people ON this subject. II the reo-
pie of this county see proper to
send me to the Legislature | eN-
, pcct To make their wants known
and ask that body to let me assist
. in repeating some laws that are
now IN force, not but what the
members ot that body thought
. them good when they made them.
/ hut after q trial they are not good
/ for the people, and also ask that
: we make some laws whereby our
class of people with others may be
I benefited. As for the salary adj
init that is one object, bat il ! had
no other object in view, | most as.
suredlv would not suffer myself to
I be placed where would meet so
many intended attempts for insults

simply because | cannot be used
as they desire TO use me. No, far
( from it,. As for what | am po'iti.
( caily, | am just what | stated had
! been, and a. to conservative having
such q broad meaning, if that p'C-
serving influence had been applied
in Lincoln county about fifteen
years ago. it might have been well.
but TO preserve the so.caIled
Dem ocracy of Lincoln county as it
now stands, | don't propose to do

that to be done until it is carried

and now il Voter thinks that the
people IN mass meeting with all
convention, will say Staten Baker

sent Lincoln county, | will come
down, and help the good people
to express their sentiments aud
abide their decision. AS for the
penitentiary question, if one-half
be true what we see in some news
papers, and the State of MiSsis-
sippi cannot remedy that, | think
we had better abolish the peniten
tiary altogether, but as how to
manage it, | will give my views
in the future. ] think there is a
wrong somewhere, and let us find
where the wrong is before we under

with the evidence ! have from the

Mr. L., if | have not answered your

BRANDON, MISS, Aug. 20.-The conrt
spent the forenoon session in hearing
testimony in rebuttal of the defendants
application for continuance, the effort
on the part of the State being to satisfy
the court if the absent witnesses, Andrew
Govan and Ike Thomas, were present,
they would not testify as it is alleged In
the petition they would.
As to the absent Tom Hardy the State
proved that the defense had been advised
that Hardy could be gotten at any time,
and the defense explained that his name
was inserted in the affidavit because the
same assurances were given during the
habeas corpus trial, and he failed to
come and avoided the process of the
conrt.
The question of Ike Thomas testimony,
another witness being referred to, it being
claimed that he could swear that he saw
Gambrell standing on the bridge. This
was denied, and it was claimed that the
witness swore on the habeas corpus trial
that the man he saw on the bridge was
not Eubauks, because he did not have
side whiskers.

titled that ut the time of tho killing Eu-

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Bos-
chee's German Syrup within few
years, has astonished the world. 1t
is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and effectual cure of Coughs, Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. 1t
acts on an entirely different principle
from the usual prescriptions given by
Physicians, as it does not dry up q
Cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary re-
moves the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in
a purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance. will
save DOCTORS bills and a long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince
you of these facts. 1t is positively
sold by all druggists and general
dealers in the land. Price rs cts;
large bottles.

ONE OF THE BEST THINGS OUT.-With the
advent of the New Year there always comes
to the desk of the editor something new. use
full or unique in the shape of some invention or
discovery. or something which will amuse and
divert while it conveys instruction OF such a
before us in the shape of u Counter Wrapper
Pad, (l2 Y So inches) for the counter use of
druggists aud dealers in medicine. Glancing
at the sheets which to a large number are ad-
hcsively Joined at one end, we find they COM
prise humorous sketches from the rich and racy
pens of = Bill Nye" and other talented and
well-known '' funny men, finely illustrated in
the broadest style of the comic art. AT once
the design is manifest and most pleasing. One
can imagine with what facility and pleasure a
dealer can handle such an ornament to his
counter, while at the same time 1t must give
delight to his customers, free of all expense to
himself As Il wrapper to parcel each bears
in graceful lettering his name and place of bus
iness. It is hardly necessary to add that it is
gotten out by The Charles A. VogelCr Company,
Baltimore. Md, and is being distributed freely
to their patrons in trade. 1t is another proof
of the well-earned reputation of the remedies
manufactured by that house and another of its
ingenious methods of spreading the story of the
wonderful cures wrought by ST. Jacobs OIL
In verse and alliterated lines another story is
told of an equally famous and etfcacious rem
edy-Rcd Star Cough Cure-which has been
shown by the analysis of the most distinguished
chemists to be free from opatcs and poisons !;
the cost of which is only twenty-five cents
The pad will doubtless be very much in de-
mand and as it deserves should justly become
most popular one of the best things out.
